Work for a cause, not applause... Live life to express, not to impress...

My Story.

My journey through life has been full of twists, turns, challenges, and opportunities. Upon enrolling at Northwest Missouri State University in the fall of 2008, I thought that I had the rest of my life figured out. I was sure that I was four years away from being a great high school vocal music teacher. But instead, at the beginning of my sophomore year, I took a leap of faith and tried something completely different from anything I had considered in the past and for which I had an unexplored passion.

After long consideration, I changed my major to Interactive Digital Media: New Media and, looking back, I wouldn't take back that decision for anything. This is what I really love and where I excel. Design, art, and marketing became my passion and I have fallen in love with the process of taking an idea and turning it into a product and brand. I graduated in April 2012, and shortly gained employment in the professional world where I love putting my skills and creativity to use. I'm excited to see how I can be used to influence design and media in the future and to see how the media industry will change and evolve over the coming decades.
